Highlights

The general avalanche hazard is LOW at all elevations, as mostly stable snow exists. Isolated pockets of surface slab up to 6 inches in depth could be triggered in steep wind loaded terrain. Cloudy skies should mitigate any solar effect, making wet slides unlikely. However, if sunny skies prevail throughout the day, the strong surface crust could break down, allowing for the possibility of wet slides on sunlit aspects.
